Oh foot stools - what a good idea - I have a lot of plastic little stools I use outside to sit or stand on. I will put a few of those around.OMG they are hilarious aren't they? They taste freedom and that's the end of it - they will be flying and running everywhere.
I found that they like to run under the foot stools I have here in the barn. I have three of these foot stools and I have them lined up out of the way and they chicks learned to run under there if the big girls go after them - well except Marty the vicious little lady can fit under there ha!
Oh just wait till you let them out - they will be so eggcited! But I bet if you sat there they will run a bit but run back to you right away. That is how I let mine out, and I was able to keep the big ones away with a lift of my foot
I need to put the fire escape in place - I may do that later today or maybe tomorrow. Remember mine are high up so they need a safe way of getting back up into the brooder box. I built what I call the fire escape with a series of ladders they can scamper up.
Or they can just fly straight to the top. Their choice!
